Hi Kevin; bed size isn't too important since you can use a 5th wheel hitch either way. I would personally get a long bed but if there was a good deal on a short bed I wouldn't pass it up. The only thing I really wouldn't want on a Ram is the Rambox.
For a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the B&W Companion. This is a high quality 5th wheel hitch that will give you a great towing experience. If the truck has the factory prep package you can use the # BWRVK3670. If it does not have the factory prep package you will need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1314 which will allow you to mount the Companion # BWRVK3400-5W.
